Wow, I can understand your feelings almost to the mark. When guys flirt with me, even if they are being creepy, I start feeling this overwhelming guilt. And, okay, most guys really aren't creepy, but I immediately feel defensive, then bad about it. I'm not "out" with my sexuality - I don't hide it, but I think most people assume I'm straight and opportunity to actually say "I like girls!" is rare. But I don't know, flirting guys... I don't think there's anything wrong with flirting, especially the earliest, friendly stuff that is just talking, teasing, snide compliments, etc. I like to "flirt" with everyone I'm comfortable around, I just like the rapport. But if the guy is making you feel uncomfortable, that's not okay. You could try something subtle or an indirect show that you aren't interested, if you don't want to directly cut him off. Or if possible, make a loud statement in the office about how you don't want to do work relationships, etc. I don't know the situation exactly. Hope it works out. :(
